  • Double-click on the filename of the file to be opened (another window opens); click on "Open"
OR:
  • Click on the email in the list in the Inbox; click on the paperclip icon in the bar above the lower panel (if the lower panel isn’t showing, click on View > Layout; put a tick in the “Show Preview Pane” box); then either:
  • a. Click on the name of the attachment (a window opens); click on Open; OR
  • b. Click on “Save Attachments” (a window opens); click on the “Browse” button to locate the folder to save the attachment in; click on this folder; click on “OK”; click on “Save”.
  • Then right-click on the “Start” button; click on “Explore” (this opens Windows Explorer); locate the saved file and double-click on it.
